Zurich: An internal investigation of suspended FIFA President Joseph Sepp Blatter has found no evidence of wrongdoing over a 2 million Swiss franc ($2.02 million) payment to European soccer head Michel Platini, a Swiss newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Citing an unnamed source, the Handelszeitung paper said the internal probe had been unable to substantiate the suspicions.
Both men were suspended in October amid a corruption scandal that has triggered criminal investigations in the United States and Switzerland and cast soccer's global administrative body into turmoil. They deny wrongdoing and have not been charged.
